I'm a happy man!! I got those arms and new shocks and stabilizer links in yesterday and it is a different car for sure. My battery was dead due to my glove box light being on. I wasn't going to drive it this morning, but I couldn't resist. The alignment is obviously off even though I did the best I could to get the LCAs back where they were. On the highway, the car was planted and solid; I was able to hold the steering wheel with one hand and was in total control.
I just spoke with a tech at an alignment shop that is going to align the front end according to my specs:
camber: -.3°
caster: 4.5° to 5°
toe: 0 to .5"
Good to go! It's been a month since mine's been done, but I still feel the difference every time I drive the car.
That's awesome man. I know what you mean. It can only get better for me, hopefully - as it's getting aligned today. Also, I still have to replace the rear Bilsteins with the STR.Ts. I was worn out Sunday after get those control arms and shocks in.
Well I just paid the tire shop for the alignment. Pretty pleased with them. My tires were going low due to the chrome wearing out where the tires seals the rims. Typical 360k miles stuff. Here are the before and after specs:
Happy to find a shop that can align my car properly!!
